[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The level of work each class takes and time management for homework, projects and exams. [b]Advocating for themselves[/b] with professors and navigating a bureaucratic system. Freshman dorm experiences - not a great place to meet people, no a/c and getting use to communal bathrooms and showers. Roommate was hardly around but was compatible. Always being tired and stressed. [/quote] ALL of this - but especially understanding the need for and how-to of self-advocacy and speaking up. Seems to be much better at this Sophomore year. I think the stressors will be different between highly demanding schools (sounds like the above) and schools that are more fun, but where you have to worry more about basic safety, drugs, cheating, and theft. IN the latter, changing dorms can make a big difference in QOL. [/quote]
